Procedure Updated: 
08/10/2022

Use this procedure to correct the new hire date of an employee who had the incorrect effective date entered during the new hire action.

This procedure will take you through the steps to delete the benefits infotypes created during the erroneous new hire action. Once you have completed the necessary deletions, notify the personnel administration processor and they will correct the new hire action with the correct effective date. Finally, you will need to create new benefits infotype records with the correct start date.

Tips: 

The personnel administration, payroll, and time and attendance processors must correct all entries made during the incorrect new hire action. It is important to communicate with these other roles once you have completed the corrections below to identify and remedy any over/underpayment situations if necessary.

Effective Dates for all records should follow the Effective Dating Infotypes guidelines.

The personnel administration and payroll processors should always complete their corrections once all time administration and benefits administration entries have been deleted. As an overview to this process, the following should take place in order:

1. Time and Attendance Processor – Delete all Time Recording records created during the erroneous new hire action.

2. Benefits Processor - Delete all Benefits tab records created during the erroneous new hire action.

3. Personnel Administration Processor – Follow the New Hire Action (PA) – Change Hire Date Before Day 4 procedure to correct all the personnel administration infotype records.

4. Payroll Processor – Follow the New Hire Action (PY) – Change Hire Date Before Day 4 procedure to correct all the payroll infotype records.

5. Benefits Processor – Re-enter Benefits records with the correct dates. Follow the New Hire Action (BN) – Create New Hire Action procedure.

6. Time and Attendance Processor – Re-enter Time Recording records with the correct dates.

This is a generalized example of correcting a new hire date. The steps may vary depending on the infotypes that were created during the new hire action. For specific instructions, please contact HereToHelp@ofm.wa.gov.

Please Note for this example, we will use an employee whose original incorrect new hire date was 2/25/2022 and the employee’s new hire date should have been 3/1/2022. Each benefits infotype created during the new hire action will be deleted and once all other roles have completed their steps, a correct PA40 new hire action will be entered.
